Pros:

Light.Non irritating.Natural.Smells Good.

Cons:

Leaves Skin Alittle Dry.

If your looking for a gentle cleanser with a low percentage of salicylic acid (0.5) This is recommended.The soy extracts leave skin soft.Face will be dry due to the salicylic acid but you can manage that will a light, non pore clogging moisturizer.Just Try it.Everyone is Different.

Pros:

Made my skin visibly smoother
Minimized pore size
Made my face glow

Cons:

A little drying (nothing moisturizer can't fix)
Still have areas of acne
I think you have to continue this product more than a week to see results, acne wise.

I also used this with St. Ives green tea scrub about three times a week, the combination of this two products were the only thing that has actually minimized the size of my pores greatly.

Pros:

-Gentle
-Easy to use & wash off
-Great smell
-Decreased acne, zits, bumps, etc.
-Unclogs pores
-Really foamy/lathery
-Coolbottle! (the color mathes my body wash lol)
-Make skin soft and silky smooth

Cons:

-First use made my skin tight, red, and irritated

I love this product! It's great, but I do have to say that your first use can be a bit tricky and doubtful. Don't give up on it though. I have been using this for about 2 weeks now and my skin is starting to clear up and I have no more awkward discolorations.

Pros:

-Great clean feeling afterwards, felt amazing.
-Easy to use
-The foam feels great- light and clean, not greasy or oily or thick
-Leaves my face glowing
-Great for cleaning before applying makeup
-Leaves skin soft and clean without over drying- good for winter especially
-Cute little bottle
-Keeps my acne (which is light to moderate, it varies) under control

Cons:

-Doesn't really work well for cleaning makeup residue off, but that's not what it's for so it's ok
-Doesn't get your skin to be completely clear and flawless- it mostly just prevents more acne from sprouting up and clears away the dirt and bacteria from existing acne

Great product!! I was using Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit face wash before and it pretty much didn't do me any good. I have combination skin (oily on my lower forehead, nose and tops of cheeks; overdry everywhere else) and Aveeno's wash really balanced that out. I love the feeling I get after using it- so clean and awake! It's not perfect, but it works really well.

Pros:

Helped calm down redness and overall size of acne, kept it smooth

Cons:

Dries out skin, had to use a moisturizer with it
Had an allergic reaction to the product after a week, rash bumps

I have combination skin, and the product did work well at reducing redness and size of acne, but it never completely got rid of it, even after a month. Also, it claims to be "hypoallergenic", yet I still managed to get a rash from something in the product. Bottom line is, it's not really worth buying. It doesn't get rid of acne, and it may have allergens in it.

Pros:

Foaming,Light,Smells fine, Cleans well

Cons:

Dries out skin, but I have Aveeno Lotion for that.

I was under the impresion that it helped even skin tone... color wise. In that respect... It works very well with daily use

Pros:

Noncomedogenic, hypoallergenic, oil-free, soap-free, smells nice, easy to apply and wash off, affordable

Cons:

Didn't really see a huge improvement on my skin, slightly drying

This is a nice foaming cleanser, and even though it didn't do much for my existing acne it did make my face less oily. I like using it when I'm in the shower because it's super easy to wash off. I'm going to continue using it for the time being.

Pros:

gentle enough to use daily, leaves skin feeling clean

Cons:

doesn't do much for acne

this stuff is great if you have clear skin to begin with. i took it to maintain my complexion after i cleared up from a particularly bad breakout several years ago. once i started breaking out again the cleanser proved totally useless. i think .5% salicylic acid isn't enough to combat existing acne, or exfoliate enough to prevent further breakouts.

Pros:

I like this product because i have seen a tremendous difference in my complexion. My acne is also clearing up.

Cons:

None really

The foaming cleanser works really great with the velocity mosturizer(a marykay product). I wash my face 2 to 3 times a day and I can see the difference in my complexion. My skin tone is also more even.

Pros:

Little product is needed in order to work up a good lather
Leaves skin feeling smooth
Removes make-up easily

Cons:

Does not help much with acne
Can be drying

I have been using this product for years, and I really do like it. I prefer using it during the summer months because it is a bit drying, I make sure to always follow up with a moisturizer! It leaves your skin feeling nice and clean, but does little to help acne. If used in conjunction with other acne products (such as benzoyl peroxide) you would have better results.
